I would also recommend to use testing/Squeeze or unstable/Sid. The
chances that testing breaks something are pretty small. So if it works
when you set it up it should not break so badly afterward doing
sudo aptitude update && `sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
every once in a while, that she is not able to repair it.
KMS, Grub2, Ext4 and for example an up to date LXDE are pretty strong
reasons to go for testing/Squeeze.
Do not forget about Boot Booster [1] and maybe a self-compiled Linux
kernel to speed up boot time. But most of this is mentioned in the
Debian Wiki I guess.
Thanks,
Paul
